Step by step solution

01

About Parallel plate capacitor 

A parallel plate capacitor is an arrangement of two metal plates connected in parallel separated from each other by some distance. A dielectric medium occupies the gap between the plates

02

Determine the formula used

,,,

03

determine the potential difference between the plates

Therefore the potential difference between the plates is 10Kv

04

Determine the Area of each plate 

Therefore the area of each plate is

05

:Determine the Electric field magnitude and surface charge density

Therefore theelectricfieldmagnitudeis

The electric Charge density is

The energy that can be extracted from a storage battery is always less than the energy that goes into it while it is being charged. Why?

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300keVis 16.0cm. You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used instead for alpha particles with energy 300keV. An alpha particle has chargeq=+2e and mass m=6.64×10-27kg. If the magnetic filed isn't changed, what will be the orbital radius of the alpha particles?
